You must follow these steps completely and in the order shown. Failure to do so increases the risk of node failure.

Info
titleImportant Note Regarding the CCE and Microsoft Windows Updates

Microsoft's Windows Update and Cloud Connector Edition update can be triggered by Microsoft from Office 365. The CCE will not be functional until Windows Updates completes the download and installation..

Windows Update could also restart the ASM.

If no calls can be established (typically the failure is between CCE and O365) but the relevant Signaling Group is up, the following two issues can be expected:

  • In an O365 client >> CCE >> SBC >> ISDN call scenario, INVITE is not reaching the CCE.
  • In an ISDN >> SBC >> CCE >> O365 client call scenario, the CCE Mediation Server returns 503 Proxy INVITE failed. Error: Unable to establish a connection to SBC.

In some instances, an ASM being updated has also closed the SIP Signaling Group.

Technicians can manually stop and disable the Windows Update service, which will re-instantiate as a manual, running process after the ASM is restarted.

Important!

    • Refer to the SBC Edge Release Information page for instructions on obtaining the latest firmware.
    • Failure to update to the latest firmware could lead to deployment failure.
    • Make sure to use the latest release (use X.X.459 rather than X.X.0, for example).

CCE Deployment Scenarios

The following diagram shows typical CCE deployment scenarios on a PSTN site. The PSTN site is a combination of Cloud Connector instances, deployed at the same location, and with common PSTN gateways pool connected to them. PSTN sites allow you to:

  • Provide connectivity to gateways closest to your users.

  • Allow for scalability by deploying multiple Cloud Connector instances within one or more PSTN sites.

  • Allow for high availability by deploying multiple instances of Cloud Connector within a single PSTN site.

Warning

The following sections describe a clean install of the CCE. If your environment has already deployed with CCE, and you are planning to re-deploy, it is necessary to clean up the site(s) that may already exists in O365. To do so, please follow the steps in CCE Re-Deployment Specific Steps in Re-initializing the ASM.

Initial Setup

Tip

For best results:

  • Update the SBC firmware to the latest version.
  • Start with an empty, clean configuration.
Note

During the initial setup, SBC Edge have to be configured with two IP interfaces, one for internal company network (corporate network), and the second one for DMZ network (Internet network) as shown below:

SBC Edge supports new deployment with CCE 2.1.0 in Release 6.1.5.

Before this release, if your CCE auto-updates to CCE 2.1.0:

  • To rerun the step “Transfer Credential from SBC”, it will require Release 6.1.5.
  • To rerun the step “Register Appliance”, you need to install .NET4.6.2 using Windows Update.

Warning

If the deployment environment consists of multiple-site with a single certificate or a wild card certificate, ensure the CCE Site Name matches your public SBC Edge fqdn for this site before proceeding.

 

Verifying and Updating the  CCE Configuration INI File 

You must verify (and possibly correct) the CCE Configuration INI File after configuring the CCE.

...

The CCE deployment internally sets the domain suffix as defined under VirtualMachineDomain attribute. Although your

Spacevars

may have an FQDN that can be reached from your corporate network, it is important to set up the SBC's Gateway fqdn parameter accordingly with the VirtualMachineDomain value, so that the CCE can communicate with the 
Spacevars
0product
without a problem.

...

On SBC-1, click the Action drop-down list and select the appropriate option:

  • Import X.509 Signed Certificate. If you generated a Certificate Request (CSR) on the previous step, select the Import X.509 Signed Certificate option, and paste the BASE64 certificate in the text box.
  • Import PKCS12 Certificate and Key. If you prepare your certificate by yourself, select the Import PKCS12 Certificate and Key option, enter a password and select the relevant certificate file.
  • Export PKCS12 Certificate and Key. To export a certificate, select ExportPKCS12 Certificate and Key and enter a password.
  • Import PKCS7 Certificate Chain. Select the Import PKCS7 Certificate Chain option, and select a file.

Warning

 If the deployment environment consists of multiple-site with a single certificate, or a wild card certificate, ensure the CCE Site Name and the Edge Server Public Hostname are correct before proceeding.

Verifying and Updating the CCE Configuration INI File 

You must verify (and possibly correct) the CCE Configuration INI File after configuring the CCE.

Info

When deploying a High Availability (HA) systems, it is important to have Management IP Prefix unique on each HA system. For instance, if your HA Master CCE system has 192.168.213.x as the Management IP Prefix, you need to be sure to configure this attribute differently on HA Slave system. While doing this, also make sure that subnet that you are defining in this field does not conflict in your IP infrastructure.

Note
titleCCE Deployment - What to Expect
  • The CCE deployment may exceed two hours.
  • The CCE deployment status is visible only on the Remote Desktop to the ASM. The WebUI indicates that the CCE is running while the deployment process is in progress.
  • While the CCE deployment is running, you should not perform any actions on the ASM via the WebUI (i.e., Shut Down/Reset/Reboot/Reinitialize/Install etc.).
  • If the Office 365 PSTN Site already exists in your tenant, ensure the other Appliance is removed, and the CCE Auto-Update time window is properly configured. If you are in a time window dedicated to the Auto-Update, you should use the command Set-CsHybridPSTNSite to set EnableAutoUpdate to $False. Replication of the information may take up to 30 minutes.

Using Sonus Cloud Link Deployer via Remote Desktop on the ASM Module:

  1. Register all the CCE Appliance.
